CP1252 encoding issues

[ob197]

The commonly used Windows Codepage 1252 has two characters which are not covered by FCKEditor's HTML entities:

Ž Ž U+017D alt+0142
ž ž U+017E alt+0158

If you type these chars, FCKEditor will not turn them into entities. If you inititalize FCKEditor with a text that contains one of these entities, the entities will be re-encoded e.g. as Ž

Corrected wrong unicode point value in description.

Did you define the initial value like this?

oFCKeditor.Value = "<p>Some symbols here:&yuml;&Yuml;&Zcaron;&zcaron;</p>";

If this is the case, then the &Zcaron and &zcaron entities wouldn't be converted to Ž and ž. According to my understanding, that is because they are not defined in the ​XHTML Latin-1 entity set, rather than being FCKeditor's fault. The W3C XHTML entity set have only defined latin character entities up to U+00FF.

Instead of using the invalid entity codes, using the plain characters works:

oFCKeditor.Value = "<p>Some symbols here:&yuml;&Yuml;Žž</p>";

If, on the other hand, FCKeditor converts the plain characters into Ž, then there would be a bug. I wasn't able to reproduce that in my testing, however.
